    Setting out a dipsy rod

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    I reel the diver with in a foot of the rod tip and hold the leader line or flasher (or terminal tackle) with one hand a tip the rod out to the side with the other. Then I gently toss the terminal tackle a few feet off the side and watch that is straightens out and is running right. Lastly I put it in the rod holder and back off the drag so the dipsy creeps out to my desired length.

    Henderson Harbor Salmon Fishing

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Got my parents to watch the kids this morning and ran out with my lady before a little brunch at Tin Pan. Ran out to between the mountain and finger, it was a bit choppy and my lady got a little nauseous, so I pulled lines and ran into the Trench for flatter water. Found 46 degrees down 120, passed 7 pods like in the pics, never moved a rod. Hit 115 fow, pulled lines, and hit Tin Pan.

    Sorry for the glare. IMG_6826.thumb.JPG.36a295678e02b3c953bdad7522369b35.JPGIMG_6829.thumb.JPG.00f092b435121818e523926c16a3dfe6.JPG

    Henderson launch is good and lots of good hooks out by the wall and finger and plenty off bait fished 4 hours tuesday am in 4 footers solo not even a bump off think front shut them down . Did well sunday evening and monday morning out of Oswego on the 140 curve caught fish 130 down due to temp was deep and broken . Screen and temps were way better at henderson but if they have lock jaw its tough to put them in the boat temp break was around 90 feet and very stable . Talked with one old timer told me he couldnt even catch perch !

    Did you pass a Trophy with Puffer II on the side as you trolled into the waves? About 9:30? We were going with the waves, cleaning rods and then we left.

    Nice fish Greenboat! always fun when you double up. Tangles are a pain but part of the game. Are you running the copper down the chute? You might try it on a board. A wild fish might still get you tangled.  Wes 

    I am running the copper down the chute, but that wasn't the tangle... I was trying to add a slide diver and deployed to fast and it snagged the rigger. Put it in the cabin to try another day. Haha. And I should've known better cause I let my dipsys creep out slow by backing off the drag. I a dumb ass sometimes, but all put are learning!!!

    Short trip this morning, trolled between the finger and the mountain for about 2.5 hrs, found 46 degrees down 120. Had a good salmon on copper and another struck a dipsy, first double but both came unglued.
    Picked up a nice mature on the other dipsy. Copper went again, pulled in 450 to find a massive laker took the spoon. Finished with another laker on a dipsy.
    Riggers never fired.

    Henderson Harbour this weekend.

    I'm just outside of Sackets and normally launch at the Stony Creek launch when headed to those fishing areas, it's the shortest route by boat to get out there, especially if it's choppy. When it's flat, running from Westcotts or Henderson is a wash.

    You can also make a 15 mile steam to deep water in front of Mexico if you want (about the same distance to the lanes).

    I'm headed up Saturday, may shoot to get out Sunday, if not, during the week.

    Yep, just a clean spoon. The one that took the lakers was 10ish feet off the ball. Took the king on the one on the bottom... Moonshine lure, Carbon 14. The 2 on the bottom are Magnum size, the other is a regular Michigan Stinger, both sizes will work, choose whatever colors you like (these are 3 of my personal favs), I tend to run mag spoons, but will change it up. Hope this helps!

    I run 13 lbs torpedoes and was actually surprised there wasn't more blowback, but we were going with the waves and doing 1.8-2.1 on the surface and 2.4-2.8 at the probe. Probably why there was not so much blowback. And as I get used to my hawk, I'll do some tests for calibration. Will definitely check just below the surface for temp with the probe. Not sure if I'm ready to let my probe to the bottom yet! Lol!
